Real-time monitoring
European government agencies compile radiation readings as part of environmental monitoring mandates, making the readings available to the public in near-real-time.
Natural Radioactivity
The European Atlas of Natural Radiation publicises the naturally radioactive environment to give a balanced view of the radiation dose that comes from natural radioactivity.
Radiation monitoring programmes
EU Member State authorities monitor environmental radiation dose rates and radioactivity levels in air, water, soil and foodstuffs. The European Commission carries out verifications of these monitoring arrangements and organises proficiency tests to harmonise laboratory practises.
